A brand of uncooked spaghetti comes in a box that is a rectangular prism with a length of 9 inches, a width of 3 inches, and a height of 3 1/2
inches. What is the surface area?

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]Area = 138in^2[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]L = 9; W =3; H =3\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

Required

The surface area

This is calculated as:

[tex]Area = 2(LW + LH + WH)[/tex]

So:

[tex]Area = 2(9*3 + 9*3\frac{1}{2} + 3*3\frac{1}{2})[/tex]

[tex]Area = 2(27 + 31\frac{1}{2} + 10\frac{1}{2})[/tex]

[tex]Area = 2*69[/tex]

[tex]Area = 138in^2[/tex]
